Al Ahly will host Burundi’s Aigle Noir on Saturday in the second leg of the CAF Champions League Round of 32.

Al Ahly goalkeeper Mohamed El Shenawy has been ruled out of Saturday’s CAF Champions League second-leg match against Burundi’s Aigle Noir due to severe fatigue and flu, the club’s football director Walid Salah Eldin said on Friday.

Al Ahly head coach Jess Thorup praised his side’s performance and thanked the club’s supporters following their 2-1 victory over Ittihad Alexandria on Wednesday, a result that sent the reigning champions to the top of the Egyptian Premier League.
